A good weekend...

I had a very good -- and very full -- weekend. Here are a few highlights:

Painting my basement. It looks so much more finished now! Below are a few pics -- including the ridiculously GIANT screen for the home theater, and the very starbuck-ish mustard/brown wall in the family room. The two bedrooms downstairs each have two accent walls -- the one shown is a really dark blue, and the other is a dark brown.

Yesterday we bought a really cool red futon for the dark brown room (which will be the office). It's gonna look pretty funky.

We had a great church service yesterday (a convicting message on "work"), followed by a wonderful taco salad lunch sponsored by the team that's going to Mexico next month. So many people showed up that the last people in line were eating chips and cheese!

The dogs provided me with a lot of enjoyment -- they were particularly wound up after church, and I managed to snap some pics of their most recent favorite toy (see Callie above).

And then yesterday evening (after the aforementioned furniture shopping and a tasty dinner of cheese and chicken soup, as well as an enjoyable experience brewing flowering tea), I poured myself a glass of wine, lit some candles, drew a hot bath, added some peppermint/rosemary bath salts and sat in the tub for an hour reading magazines and catalogs that I'd been accumulating. It felt SO luxurious! After that, I was out like a ... like a lab on a couch.
